What is TimeBinder and How Does it Work?
TimeBinder proves when a digital file existed by creating a cryptographic fingerprint of the file and anchoring it to the Bitcoin blockchain. The file itself is never uploaded or stored.
Verification can be made public or restricted by the user. In either case, the blockchain record proves the file existed at that point in time and has not been altered.
What about quantum computing?
Quantum computing is often raised as a concern when blockchain technology is mentioned. This concern is understandable, but commonly misunderstood. TimeBinder relies on cryptographic hashing (SHA-256) to anchor proof of file existence, and there is currently no known practical quantum attack against SHA-256.
While some public-key cryptographic schemes could be affected by future large-scale quantum computers, Bitcoin’s protocol is designed to evolve. Cryptographic upgrades can be implemented well before any realistic quantum threat becomes practical, preserving the integrity of historical records.
Importantly, TimeBinder does not expose private keys or rely on long-term signature security to prove existence in time. It anchors cryptographic fingerprints to the blockchain, creating an independently verifiable historical record that remains valid even as cryptographic standards change.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to use TimeBinder?
An individual TimeBind (up to 10 files) cost varies depending on your priority.
Pooled is $5 and ASAP is $15 per TimeBind. You can pay per TimeBind using a credit or debit card via Stripe, or pre-purchase bulk Tokens for a discounted rate.
Does TimeBinder store my files?
No. Your files never leave your device. TimeBinder calculates a SHA-256 hash of your files directly in your browser. Only these hashes—mathematical fingerprints of your files—are used, meaning your content remains private and fully secure.
How secure is TimeBinder?
TimeBinder uses the Bitcoin blockchain, the world’s most secure and proven decentralized network, to timestamp your files. Every TimeBind creates immutable proof of existence that cannot be altered, faked, or deleted.
How easy is it to use the TimeBinder app?
Extremely easy — no technical knowledge required. Simply drag and drop your files, choose your options, and confirm payment. Within moments, your TimeBind certificate is created and verifiable forever.
How does TimeBinder protect my data?
All data in transit and at rest is encrypted. Since your files are never uploaded, only encrypted hashes are processed. Verification happens within your browser or via the blockchain, ensuring total control and privacy.
Can anyone verify my documents?
That’s up to you. You can make a TimeBind publicly verifiable via a QR code, or restrict access to specific email addresses. Either way, verification happens securely in-browser — no one sees your original files
Can I pay with Bitcoin?
Paying for TimeBinds with Bitcoin are currently in review and will be released in a future update.
